Panorama: TBD
F1: In a social context, thumbnailing comes in two flavors:
- thumbnail a full page, as in this code
- look for images which the content author wants to be used as the thumbnail in social networks for example, and thumbnail them (because they're likely more compelling and symbolic of the page than the full page thumbnailed). This is more subtle code, which should use page metadata (e.g. opengraph markup) to identify likely good images. See the current code used in f1 for an example.
Speed Dial Based on F1: Very quickly hacked together using the F1 feature and caching it into moz_annos.
